    HE Skills:

3. Self-discipline

Personal Goal Statement: 

1. My major goal, like everyone else is to not only improve the skills that need improvement, but to continue to exercise the skills I am already good at.

2.  One activity I will be utilizing very soon will be re-recording vocals the album “On Angry Grounds” by Rising Up Angry. Through this activity I will improve my problem solving and people skills by working with a new singer for the band and getting the product complete in a faster and more efficient way. 

3. I will be volunteering at Classic Cases to help improve my priorities and attitude by working in an environment where teamwork is key to delivering a final product. 

4. I will volunteer as a lighting engineer for Rising Up Angry. Through this I will be able to improve more on vision and influence by creating a professional quality light show to go with the bands music, while working with the band and sharing my knowledge and influence to help improve them as a band.

5. I volunteer as a band advisor/manager for the band Paralysis. Through this I will be developing my problem solving skills and my people skills by keeping the members happy not only with each other as people, but also help guide them as a band both musically and professionally

6. I will be coordinating a professional live music video for Rising Up Angry. This will help me improve on all my skills by utilizing what I already have, while learning how to maintain the vision in not only the staff, but in myself as well.

7. I will be attending and volunteering with MEISA. Through them I cannot only expand my own skills, I will learn through observing others as well.

What I Learned: Based off of the Leadership Skills Assessment, my most positive attributes are my integrity, my vision and my self-discipline. From there comes my ability to create positive change, develop staff, and influence others. I have learned from this assessment that the skills I need to work on the most would have to be problem solving, people skills, priorities and attitude.

How This Applies: From this assignment I learned that in order to improve traits you must conduct a self evaluation. In the first step to solving a problem, you must first admit that you have a problem and this helped me to find my problems very easily.
